Borussia Dortmund vs Paderborn Prediction

Borussia Dortmund Form

In their last three outings, Borussia Dortmund won 2-0 against Hamburger SV, beat Hoffenheim by 2-3 and hammered Villarreal 3-2. Borussia Dortmund have been in potent form at Signal Iduna Park, winning no less than five of the past six Bundesliga matches here. They also hammered in 14 goals, while letting in five as they also lost once.

Paderborn Form

Paderborn show a mix of results in their previous three matches. They started well with a 0-2 win against Darmstadt. Then a 0-0 draw with Mainz 05 followed before they lost against Freiburg with a 0-1 scoreline. Paderborn are winless in their last six away games in the Bundesliga, in which they drew four and lost two. They conceded five goals while scoring three themselves.

Borussia Dortmund should be too strong at Signal Iduna Park to drop any points against Paderborn, and combining the home win with over 2.5 goals looks the value bet.
